Help restore steering and handling with the MOOG K6141 Ball Joint, a front lower pivot that connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can steer and move with the suspension. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1971-1976 Chevrolet Impala, 1971-1976 Chevrolet Caprice and 1985-2005 Chevrolet Astro. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
MOOG designed this suspension ball joint for OE fit and function, and backs it with quality materials, rigorous testing and problem-solving features aimed at quick, hassle-free installation.
- Problem Solver Gusher bearing: A metal-to-metal design adds strength and lets grease flow across the bearing surface for reduced friction.
- Heat-treated ball stud: Treated to match or exceed OE requirements, helping inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
- Greaseable socket: New lubricant can be added to flush out contaminants, reducing corrosion and wear.
- Patented pressed-in cover plate: Seals out debris and minimizes looseness to cut down on bearing wear.
A premium boot keeps contaminants out, and heavy-duty gauge steel construction adds strength and durability. Precision tolerances are intended to make installation and steering alignment easier. If a worn ball joint is behind loose steering or clunking from the suspension, replacing it with the K6141 is designed to help restore vehicle handling.
